Looking to build a new gaming PC and while researching the kaby lake processors from intel, specifically the 7700k, I came across many reports of extremely high temps sometimes even at idle.
Many people seem to be delidding their CPUs to apply aftermarket thermal paste that doesn't suck but i'm not comfortable with delidding and would rather not.
Is this an overblown problem or should I consider an AMD CPU? And also, any AMD recommendations for around the same price and power as the 7700k would be appreciated.
Thank you.
